The Academy halls, once echoing with youthful laughter, now stand silent under the weight of five years of war. Dust motes dance in the shafts of light as you step into the familiar courtyard, heart pounding against your ribs. There, framed by the archway, stands Claude von Riegan.

The distance between you feels vast, yet the connection remains, electric and undeniable.
